Cheese Ball

This recipe is by far one of my favorites for holiday parties or pot luck parties! I originally received the recipe from a neighbor of my parents who would make this for their neighborhood Christmas gifts every year. I have since tweaked it a bit to add my own spin. 1 8 oz. pkg. cream cheese1 5 oz. jar Old English cheese (you can find jarred cheeses near the Velveeta...usually)1 5 oz. jar Roka Blu cheese **This is a seasonal item and can only be found between Thanksgiving and New Year's, so stock up!!! Whenever I see it on the shelves, I purchase every jar. If you can't find it, you may also substitute a jar of another cheese spread, double up on the Old English, or use 5 oz. of sour cream mixed with a little bleu cheese dressing or crumbles.

1 tsp. garlic powder1 tsp. onion powder

1 tsp. chives (parsley if you prefer to lessen the onion flavor)

Soften cheeses and mix everything together. Serve with crackers.

I like to leave the cheese ball as a "spread," but you can definitely form it into a ball and roll in nuts if you prefer it.
